Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Daniel Lind Lagerlöf is better known for crime series like Wallander, making this romantic detour an oddity in his filmography.
Miffo captures early-2000s Sweden's post-religious identity crisis—the state church was formally separated from government in 2000, and priests like Tobias were figuring out their purpose.
